The feeling of his entire body being sealed wasn't strong. As long as he was willing to leave this world, he could break it off. But correspondingly, he would also return to his own point in time.
If he didn't want to do that, his physical fitness could only maintain his existence as a mortal. He couldn't use any abilities that exceeded the limits of mortal strength.
But there was also good news. In this state, he wouldn't be in danger of leaking any aura, and no one would notice his abnormality.
Pinching the core of the God of Twilight, Li Ke wanted to ask some questions. But he found that without the supply of his power, the God of Twilight had fallen into silence. Only Leona could respond to him.
So he needed to blend in with the humans of this world a little. So in the face of this girl's question, he didn't ignore it. Instead, he answered it.
"I'm a traveler."
He introduced himself. But right after that, the girl raised her spear because she had seen Leona's head hanging on Li Ke's waist. Like the two of them, she was shocked that Leona looked exactly like her.
"Who the hell are you! What kind of monster are you?! "
She was a little panicked. In her understanding, as long as people saw someone who looked exactly like them walking in front of them or being killed by someone, then that person would naturally die soon. And there were too many monsters who could do this, so she naturally regarded Li Ke as one of the monsters of this era.
"I'm not a monster. I'm just a passerby."
Li Ke looked at the girl in front of him with some amusement. She didn't intend to listen to him anymore because the moment he finished speaking, the girl pounced on Li Ke like a female leopard. The spear in her hand was also aimed at Li Ke's neck.
Such a simple and straightforward attack naturally couldn't hurt Li Ke. He smiled, stretched out his hand, and grabbed the spear in the girl's hand. He snatched the spear from the girl's hand and held it in his hand. The young girl retreated in panic. She was one of the few experts in her tribe, but in front of this person, she was as powerless as a child.
Li Ke was also stunned for a moment. He looked at his hand that was holding the spear and discovered that he was actually injured. Bright red blood was flowing out from the place where he was holding the spear, soaking the ordinary stone spear.
Frowning slightly, Li Ke swung his spear and hit the girl's leg with the shaft, causing her to fall to the ground again. The moment she raised her head, he threw the spear at her. The spear pierced deeply into the soil beside her ear, causing the girl to be stunned on the spot.
"I told you, I'm not a monster. This is just a spoil of war. Its function is … illumination."
He reached out his hand and grabbed Leona's hair, slightly stimulating her hair. Her eyes and mouth emitted a golden light, illuminating the nearby area.
The girl was obviously stunned by this sudden change. She looked at Li Ke's tall and strong body, and the head that was emitting endless light in his hand. Her lips trembled slightly, and then she spoke again.
However, this time, there was a fanatical look on her face, and the uneasiness in her eyes disappeared.
"… You must be the apostle of the Sun God! Is it because I'm a sacrifice that you didn't kill me? Does that mean that my head will also become such a great gesture, helping the Sun God to illuminate this world?! "
Huh?
Li Ke looked at the girl, and then at Leona, who had a pained expression on her face. He carefully looked at the girl in front of him, and then he found that the oil paint on her body was almost the same as some of the oil paints in the Scorching Sun Sect. In addition to the Sun God that she mentioned, Li Ke was more or less certain that she was a worshipper of the sun …
A primitive person.
He just didn't know why she looked exactly like Leona.
His silence did not disappoint the girl. Instead, it made her fall into a deeper level of delusion, especially when the light emitted by Leona shone on her body, making her feel like the light of the sun. The expression on her face became even more devout.
"Sure enough, the blood sacrifice is effective!"
After saying that, the girl knelt in front of Li Ke. Under Li Ke's gaze, she tore off the animal skin on her body, picked up a bone knife, and stabbed her lower abdomen without saying a word.
Li Ke quickly rushed over and grabbed the bone knife.
"What are you doing?"
His voice was tinged with a bit of magic. It was a simple hint magic that could make the other party answer all the questions he wanted to ask. Li Ke did not need to deliberately use this kind of magic when he was in full condition, but now, he needed to chant a little bit of incantation.
"A blood sacrifice to serve the gods."
"The process."
"Sacrifice the palace that gives birth to the sun, straighten the path of the sun, and finally sacrifice the heart that allows the sun to shine. Then, my people will use the flame bestowed by the sun to send me, who is still reluctant to leave the mortal world, into the palace of the Sun God, so that I can serve the great Sun God. My people will eat the mortal body I leave behind in the mortal world to prove that they are willing to serve the gods. "
Damn it, a cult.
This was the first thought that came to Li Ke's mind.
Digging out the things needed to give birth while the person was still alive, straightening the intestines, then digging out the heart, and throwing the person into the fire while the person was still alive …
If this girl was not a cult, Li Ke would have said something.
"Then, have you been recognized by the gods?"
"No."
"Then why do you think I am the servant of the Sun God?"
"The head in your hand can release the light of the sun, and it looks exactly like me. The Sun God must have summoned me and shown me my future form."
"… What do you mean by you are a sacrifice?"
"The servant of the Sun God must be the purest and most capable girl. There must be no scars on her body, and she must be beautiful. She must be appetizing at first sight. Otherwise, the sun will get tired of the mortal world and leave."
"Appetizing?"
"Yes, delicious and juicy girls are the favorite food of the Sun God."
Li Ke subconsciously wanted to go to the girl's tribe and wipe out the cult there. The higher-ups and fanatics would all die, but he immediately remembered the era he was in.
"The gods have not descended, and the Dragon King is not bound … The humans of this era are indeed primitive. It is normal for there to be such primitive worship …"
Li Ke tried hard to convince himself that this was normal for this era. Because when he thought of changing this crazy belief of this era, his sixth sense warned him frantically. As long as he dared to directly cut off this foolish belief here, then he would disappear from the history of this world.
His existence as Li Ke would be erased by this era. Whether it was the past or the future, he would no longer exist. Only the changed world would continue to exist.
So he could only watch. If he did not want to free the future humans from the hands of the gods and smash the future gods' conspiracy against him with his iron fist, he could only watch.
"When will the next priest be?"
"In exchange for the comet from outer space, the apostle of the Sun God, I will become a sacrifice tomorrow. I will perform the blood sacrifice myself."
"What do you mean?"
"I will sacrifice everything I have to the Sun God."
"That will be very painful."
"I am the best hunter and the most devout believer. I can endure that kind of pain. But I am not the only sacrifice. Only those who can take out their hearts and walk to the altar of fire will be the sacrifice of the Sun God. And my good friend of the moon will accompany me. With her company, I can definitely do all this. It is just that the object of her sacrifice is the moon, and I am the sun. This is very regrettable. "
"… Where is your home? What is the name of your tribe?"
The girl who was hypnotized by Li Ke with magic pointed at the tall mountain in the distance that seemed to reach straight into the clouds.
"Giant God Peak, Laquor Tribe."
Li Ke pursed his lips, looked at Leona in his hand, and couldn't help but sneer.
"The Scorching Sun Cult that you believe in is nothing more than a cruel cult of blood sacrifice and cannibalism. What? Is this the favor that your god gave you? Does that mean you and Diana will go through all this as well? "
Li Ke basically couldn't tolerate this kind of cult.
And Leona, who had been silent all this time, also responded to Li Ke's question at this time.
"No … I have never heard of such a thing. No matter which elder or file, there has never been such a cruel blood sacrifice."
"Because history will always be forgotten."
Li Ke put her down and used her hair to tie her to his belt again. He then asked the girl one last question.
"Did you do it willingly?"
"Yes. Since I was young, I dreamed of becoming a sacrifice to stop the sun god from leaving. Because only then can my family continue to enjoy the sun's light."
"Without the sun god, there will be no prey, no fruits, and no plants to eat. So, my sacrifice is valuable. When my soul is dedicated to the sun god, my body will also be integrated into my family, so that I will be with them forever."
Li Ke clenched his fist, but in the end, he didn't choose to punch her and teach her a good lesson. He waved his cloak a little angrily and walked toward the Giant God Peak that the girl pointed at.
Every era had its own situation, and this was something that had already happened. As a person of the future, he couldn't casually interfere. After all, all of this was in the past. Even if he interfered, he wouldn't be able to change anything. Because in his history, this girl had already dug out her own organs and offered herself to the so-called sun god.
This made him even more determined to separate the gods and humans.
"Evil god … Ridiculous. In this era, such an evil god is actually a great god."
As long as the gods still existed, humans would unconsciously rely on the past. Humans were such fragile creatures with no memory. They must have something to believe in.
But the problem was that these selfish gods were no longer worthy of humans to believe in. Humans should believe in their own ideals, not this kind of man-eating guy.
"So, I can only watch."
Looking at the rugged mountain road, Li Ke sighed. If he remembered correctly, the Dragon King had worn the crown on Giant God Peak. Therefore, he intended to go up and take a look to see if the person who had presented the crown to the Dragon King was a mortal or a god. He also wanted to see if the crown was something that the Dragon King's pride had turned into as he had guessed.
However, his mortal body gave him a lot of trouble. Because he couldn't find those hidden paths, it was quite difficult for Li Ke to walk. Usually, there would be no path after walking halfway. He had to climb all kinds of rocks to continue moving forward.
Normally, this wouldn't be a problem, but when he couldn't use strength beyond the mortal level, he felt a long-lost fatigue and pain.
Blood blisters had formed on his palms, his arms were abnormally sore and numb, and his legs were constantly trembling after a day of climbing. It was as if he would go on strike if he continued moving forward.
And most importantly, he was thirsty and hungry now, and had lost most of his strength. This feeling was a very distant memory to him, who didn't need to eat to maintain his body's activity. It was so distant that he thought of the snowstorm in Freldrod, the him who chose to leave Sejuani for his freedom.
He even thought of something even further. He thought of himself who was still in prison, starving because he couldn't beat the other prisoners, and could only gnaw on straw.
How did I get to eat at that time?
Li Ke thought absentmindedly. But when he looked at the stars in the sky, he remembered that he suddenly punched the other party's throat and killed him to eat the first mouthful of food when the other party happily poured food down his throat after he was beaten down.
And now, he still didn't know whether the other party was choked to death or strangled to death by him.
Even a 'civilized person' like himself would kill for a mouthful of food. So, in order to keep the sun from disappearing, it was normal for these primitive people to sacrifice to the gods and eat until they were full, wasn't it?
"I really didn't think that I would be starving one day."
He pointed his finger at a stubborn blade of grass in a self-deprecating manner. There was nothing on the hill where he was resting except for this small blade of grass. He also felt that he was the same as this blade of grass. No matter what kind of sh * tty place he was in, he still wanted to live.
It was just that he habitually used his magic. When he accidentally fiddled with the blade of grass in his hand, his magic was cast on the blade of grass, and he recalled the time when he was starving in the ice field.
So, when he finally reacted, there were all kinds of potatoes growing around him. And the most infuriating thing was that there were a few potatoes around him …
Potatoes with the Ice Bloodline.
But the flow of time didn't change.
